<p>Starting with version 2.3.0, it is advisable to try leaving this blank. In
most cases phpMyAdmin automatically detects the proper setting. Users of
port forwarding or complex reverse proxy setup might need to set this.</p>
<p>A good test is to browse a table, edit a row and save it. There should be
an error message if phpMyAdmin is having trouble auto–detecting the correct
value. If you get an error that this must be set or if the autodetect code
fails to detect your path, please post a bug report on our bug tracker so
we can improve the code.</p>

<p>If set to a (an array of) database name(s), only this (these)
database(s) will be shown to the user. Since phpMyAdmin 2.2.1,
this/these database(s) name(s) may contain MySQL wildcards characters
(“_” and “%”): if you want to use literal instances of these

and “table_coords” (storing coordinates where each table will be placed on

<p>This part requires a content update!  Since release 2.3.0 you can
store comments to describe each column for each table. These will then
be shown on the “printview”.</p>
<p>Starting with release 2.5.0, comments are consequently used on the table
property pages and table browse view, showing up as tool-tips above the
column name (properties page) or embedded within the header of table in
browse view. They can also be shown in a table dump. Please see the
relevant configuration directives later on.</p>
<p>Also new in release 2.5.0 is a MIME- transformation system which is also
based on the following table structure. See <a class="reference internal" href="transformations.html#transformations"><span class="std std-ref">Transformations</span></a> for
further information. To use the MIME- transformation system, your
column_info table has to have the three new columns ‘mimetype’,
‘transformation’, ‘transformation_options’.</p>
<p>Starting with release 4.3.0, a new input-oriented transformation system
has been introduced. Also, backward compatibility code used in the old
transformations system was removed. As a result, an update to column_info
table is necessary for previous transformations and the new input-oriented
transformation system to work. phpMyAdmin will upgrade it automatically
for you by analyzing your current column_info table structure.
However, if something goes wrong with the auto-upgrade then you can
use the SQL script found in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">./sql/upgrade_column_info_4_3_0+.sql</span></code>
to upgrade it manually.</p>

<p>Since release 4.1.0 you can create different user groups with menu items
attached to them. Users can be assigned to these groups and the logged in
user would only see menu items configured to the usergroup they are assigned to.
To do this it needs two tables “usergroups” (storing allowed menu items for each
user group) and “users” (storing users and their assignments to user groups).</p>

track every <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-SQL"><span class="xref std std-term">SQL</span></a> command which is
executed by phpMyAdmin. The mechanism supports logging of data
manipulation and data definition statements. After enabling it you can
create versions of tables.</p>

<ul class="simple">
<li><p>phpMyAdmin saves a snapshot of the table, including structure and
indexes.</p></li>
<li><p>phpMyAdmin logs all commands which change the structure and/or data of
the table and links these commands with the version number.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Of course you can view the tracked changes. On the <span class="guilabel">Tracking</span>
page a complete report is available for every version. For the report you
can use filters, for example you can get a list of statements within a date
range. When you want to filter usernames you can enter * for all names or
you enter a list of names separated by ‘,’. In addition you can export the
(filtered) report to a file or to a temporary database.</p>

<p>If your rule order is set to
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'deny,allow'</span></code> then the system applies all deny rules followed by
allow rules. Access is allowed by default. Any client which does not
match a Deny command or does match an Allow command will be allowed
access to the server.</p>
<p>If your rule order is set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'allow,deny'</span></code>
then the system applies all allow rules followed by deny rules. Access
is denied by default. Any client which does not match an Allow
directive or does match a Deny directive will be denied access to the
server.</p>
<p>If your rule order is set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'explicit'</span></code>, authorization is
performed in a similar fashion to rule order ‘deny,allow’, with the
added restriction that your host/username combination <strong>must</strong> be
listed in the <em>allow</em> rules, and not listed in the <em>deny</em> rules. This
is the <strong>most</strong> secure means of using Allow/Deny rules, and was
available in Apache by specifying allow and deny rules without setting
any order.</p>

<p>Since a binary string is usually not printable, it can be converted into a hexadecimal representation (using a

<p>If PHP is running in safe mode, all directories must be owned by the same user
as the owner of the phpMyAdmin scripts.</p>
<p>If the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed is subject to an
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">open_basedir</span></code> restriction, you need to create a temporary directory in some
directory accessible by the PHP interpreter.</p>
<p>For security reasons, all directories should be outside the tree published by
webserver. If you cannot avoid having this directory published by webserver,
limit access to it either by web server configuration (for example using
.htaccess or web.config files) or place at least an empty <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">index.html</span></code>
file there, so that directory listing is not possible. However as long as the
directory is accessible by web server, an attacker can guess filenames to download
the files.</p>

other means than phpMyAdmin (for example, FTP). Those files are available
under a drop-down box when you click the database or table name, then the
Import tab.</p>
<p>If
you want different directory for each user, %u will be replaced with
username.</p>
<p>Please note that the file names must have the suffix “.sql”
(or “.sql.bz2” or “.sql.gz” if support for compressed formats is
enabled).</p>
<p>This feature is useful when your file is too big to be
uploaded via <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-HTTP"><span class="xref std std-term">HTTP</span></a>, or when file

<p>This directory should have as strict permissions as possible as the only
user required to access this directory is the one who runs the webserver.

chmod <span class="m">700</span> tmp

<p>If you cannot change owner of the directory, you can achieve a similar
setup using <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-ACL"><span class="xref std std-term">ACL</span></a>:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>chmod <span class="m">700</span> tmp

setfacl -d -m <span class="s2">&quot;g:www-data:rwx&quot;</span> tmp
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If neither of above works for you, you can still make the directory
<strong class="command">chmod 777</strong>, but it might impose risk of other users on system
reading and writing data in this directory.</p>
